Description
In this era of inclusive education it is essential that all teachers have a sound understanding of the nature of students' special educational needs and how these needs may best be met in the classroom. Not only must teachers understand and accept students with disabilities and learning problems, but they must also possess a wide range of teaching and management strategies. Similar knowledge and skills are also required by classroom assistants and other personnel working in a support role in schools. This book offers sound practical advice on assessment and intervention based on the latest research evidence from the field. This fully revised and updated seventh edition includes chapters on: general and specific learning difficulties students with autism intellectual, physical or sensory impairments self-regulation social skills behaviour management literacy and numeracy curriculum adaptation teaching methods. The practical advice the author gives throughout the book is embedded within a clear theoretical context supported by current research and classroom practice. What's new to the 7th edition: all references throughout text are being up to dated updated and extended resources and further reading revision of discussions about changes to assistive technology provides over-view of new changes in our understanding of Gifted Education increased emphasis on synthetic phonics following research developments in this field.
